yeah superchips are a big no no, lilke adam said, get a unichip and you'll be laughing

dont do it....

UNICHIP

found a place in yorkshire thru a friend, Motorscope? (sp) They do superchips but they get blank ones and map it on the car on their rr, rather than just ring up sc and tell them the spec :thumbs: dunno how much tho

good shit Adam :D

They shouldnt be that lumpy at idle? ant vacuum leaks etc???

My old 1.4 16v had 264's fitted and was a complete nightmare below 3k rpm (even when mapped) and had to set the idle to 1100rpm :lol:

Get it mapped asap.... you'll love the difference :)

i studied motorsport at college, everything from mechanics to logistics schedules. apart from that no other experience. just needed to buy a complete top gasket set and a torque wrench.

got the pulleys here-

148.95 plus postage :)

err the filter was red when i bought it :lol:

nice one. how much the pulleys set you back?


shouldn't the filter be red?

Nice one....

was it hard to do urself? or do u have experience etc?

could be std ecu
with a propper map and the pulleys set up itll be fine

shouldnt do that, my old car had piper fats road cams, was only a 1.4 mk3 astra and it sounded lumpy on idle not jumping to 4k tho

i dont think it should be this bad, the tachometer jumps upto 4000 rpm then it nearly stalls, dont theink the engine actully revs that high, just the needle bounces up if u know what i mean

with cams the idle will be lumpy, sounds good on idle with cams IMO!

just been for a blast on my fav road, didnt seem any different till i hit 4500 rpm, then it takes off :D:D some kid in one of the smaller bmws just got a shock :lol: it had those big multispoke wheels on that bmw seem to stick on everything at the moment.
but it doesnt seem to like idling, is this just cos its on a stock ecu?

:D ill be home
might have my engine running aswell

Sweet, verniers give slight bhp increase, but look ten times better than standard jobbies:thumbs:

nice one....

well in m8 - u'll have to take me for a spin soon :D:D:D

the revs devinitly pick up quicker, the verniers are about 200 grams lighter than stock pulleys. Didnt get chance to boot it tho, my dad was in the car and kept telling me off for qoin fast :( also it needs a chip, want a fully mappable one but the only places round here do off the shelf pooper chips.

oh yeah, thanks to Andy and my Dad for helpin :)

top job mate :D
does it run nicer now?

bet your well pleased youve got it started

well done adam :thumbs:

does it go alot better now with the new cams,
well done mate :thumbs:

do the cams and verniers make much difference?

started car today for the first time since the head gasket went nearly 2 weeks ago. got some new bits and bobs while the head was off, quite chuffed cos i fitted it all myself :D:D Adam Kindness old QED cams and new vernier pulleys-
